A New Kind of Travel Blog

Welcome to the brand spankin’ new Perceptive Travel Blog. This is meant to be an accompaniment to the award-winning Perceptive Travel site and a place where we can fill in the blanks between issues. We will review some more books and music, highlight new films and TV shows with a travel twist, and point you to some other fine independent travel writing on the Web.

Also, our three talented bloggers will bring you some peeks under the rocks from places they are visiting. Here are your hosts:

Sheila Scarborough has seen her share of the world as both a traveler and in the Navy. She has written about a wide variety of topics for the likes of National Geographic Traveler, Transitions Abroad, and a variety of U.S. newspapers. She runs the family travel blog for BootsnAll.

Antonia Malchik has contributed travel stories to WorldHum, Pology, The Vancouver Courier, GoNomad, and the Walrus. She has lived abroad in Austria, Russia, and Australia. In the latter she worked as a copy editor at Conde Nast Traveler Australia.

I’ll occasionally pop in with a comment or two, but I’m mainly leaving it to these fine writers to keep you engaged and entertained. Use that subscriber feed button at the top right, then come along for the ride!
